We see a unique familial and romantic bond being shaped by the ebb and flow of time, shaped by war, society and culture.
🎯I enjoyed witnessing the love between Roser and Victor; how it took form over the years. From familial love to romantic love, and how it withstood their different personalities, strengths and even when Roser had admitted to her 7-year affair, and the choosing of each other till the end. The commitment and mutual understanding is remarkable.
🎯 The several twists in the stories, from love and fate of people
🎯 The depth of certain characters especially of Roser and Victor
🎯 The cultural and political climate the book explored, and the sentiments of various characters
🤔 The front part was too long
